Kay

Kay with all your singin' talent, back in Houston, Nashville's all you talked about I sold everything I owned to bring you here, now you'll be famous, there's no doubt Last week you knocked out in New York, tonight Chicago's goin' wild Kay your new record on the jukebox don't sound bad Kay, I'm livin' yet I'm dyin', starin' out at Music City from my cab Caution lights blink out their warning, some old faithful Big Ben clock chimes 3AM Starvin' hounddogs search the trash can, my gas tank could stand a dollar's worth, again All those chuckholes here on Main Street jar my ribcage, I could cuss Kay the crowd of nightlife people look so sad Kay, I'm livin' yet I'm dyin', starin' out at Music City from my cab Key of Two young soldiers from Ft. Campbell told me how they fought a war they never won Sirens echo through an alley and some woman said some fellow stabbed a man I rushed Miss Teenage to the doctor, she begged to give the child my name I've lost count of cups of coffee That I've had Kay, I'm livin' yet I'm dyin', starin' out at Music City from my cab Key of Three rose petals on my front seat fallen from the bouquet Jimmy took to June Jim kept mumblin' through his teardrops, "God how'd she leave this world with flowers in her room?"

Guitars, organs, horns, violins, and pianos, how they play Grinding out the latest sounds from Music City, USA Kay although I know I've lost you to the swingin' music world I kiss pictures of those happy times we had Kay, I'm livin' yet I'm dyin', starin' out at Music City from my cab
